his soul, she’s in need of rest.”
Orion leaned over and kissed her forehead. She adjusted her body against his and snuggled closer. The feel of her safe in his arms calmed his wolf.
“She is quite beautiful in wolf form, didn’t you think?” Palidor asked.
“She is beautiful just like this.”
“You mean, quiet, soft, and in your arms. Not fighting us every step of the way?” Palidor asked with a smile.
Orion chuckled. “She is perfect for us.” He adjusted her body so that she was on his lap and closer to his wolf.
They were both quiet as they made the journey back to the estate.
The road was dark, their men behind them keeping close, but the feelings of fear were there. Something eerie and strange remained in the air.
“I’m worried, Palidor. She’s in danger.”
“I know. I’m feeling the same way. But it will be better once we begin the mating and bond one another together. Our wolves will feel more content, and there won’t be the added fear that she could leave.”
“She’s quite independent and stubborn. We’re the same way,”
Orion whispered as he stared at Ariella’s closed eyes and luscious lips. He wanted to taste her, make love to her, and stake his claim.
“The gods don’t make mistakes. We are meant for her, just as she is meant for only us. We’ll seal the bond, and protect her from harm.
I’m afraid this situation feels as if it will get worse before it gets better.”

Ariella moved and tried to get more comfortable on Orion’s lap.
Feeling her ass on top of his crotch instantly hardened his cock. He pressed a hand along her waist up her belly to her breast. Her lips parted and he lowered his mouth to hers. When he felt her hand move up his arms and shoulder to his cheek as she kissed him back, relief flooded the uncertainty in his soul.
He used his thumb to caress over her nipple, the material not really a barrier to his touch. Her nipple hardened and she moaned softly into his mouth.
Opening her eyes, she gently pulled away.
“Are you taking advantage of me while I’m resting?”
He felt the magic between them, the love, the connection as his eyes sparkled.
“Hell yeah, baby.”
She chuckled and then suddenly hugged him tight.
Orion held her snugly in his arms as he turned toward Palidor.
Palidor smiled and so did Orion as feelings of contentedness filled both their souls.

They got to the estate and their mother and fathers were there to greet them. Ariella was still so tired.
“Bring her to the guest bedroom. Let her rest while we discuss the next steps and what you have learned,” Maximus stated.
“No, I’m okay, Alpha. Please. I just need to sit down,” Ariella whispered as she held on to Orion.
Maximus moved closer. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and gave her a firm expression. Everyone knew he was an Alpha of authority.
Ariella smiled. “Okay, okay. I’ll go rest. But please don’t make any decisions without me. I know I can help.”

“You’ve helped more than enough for one night, baby. Let us handle the rest, while you get reenergized,” Palidor said as he held her chin and gave her a firm expression.
She nodded her head and both Orion and Palidor felt triumphant.
Orion and Palidor headed up to the guest room while the others were updated on the night’s events.
As they laid Ariella down on the king-sized bed, they both stood to the side. Palidor covered her with a blanket as Orion kissed her softly on the lips.
“Rest. We won’t be far if you need us.”
“I’ll be fine, Orion. I’ll just rest for a little while. I want to check on that wolf and his mate, Melanie. Are they together yet?”
Palidor smiled as he moved beside her. His face was inches from her own.
“We’ll check and confirm. You rest, we’ll be up here to join you in a little while.”
“Promise?” she whispered.
He pressed his forehead to hers. “Promise.”
